I've never seen so many grown men rolling on the ground in "pain" and holding a body part... i think the portuguese have taken some drama pointers from the NBA.

um, that is every team that plays soccer. They practice the diving and the raising of the hand at every little thing. Either these guys have 6 hour practices or they have some serious god-given ability, because it seems they practice a lot of things that aren't skill-related.

Crumble, crumble. A lot of teams would like to crumble against Brazil the way France did.
They were also supposed to be wiped by the young invicible Spaniards...
Now, what are you going to say?: Portugal is going to eat them alive?!

You gotta admit that most thought Brazil was going to move past France. France had not looked too good up to that point and Brazil, while playing sloppily breezed past most. I think the overall feeling was that France would run out of steam and eventually Brazil would start looking like Brazil.
As it turns out, France is the team that is peaking, and Brazil needs to soul search.
IMO, any one of the four teams left could win the cup. Germany has the "home court" advantage, but Italy isn't allowing goals to anyone. France-Portugal looks to be a good match-up between what should be two talented and emotional teams.
I'm looking forward to both games.

Portugal did not look like a World Cup winner in their game against England. And England was horrid as well. Rooney should have been sent to the showers after Ecuador. Crouch looked brilliant (Ok, he hasn't always looked like much more than a tall polio victim, but....). No play from Wolcott. :(
I'm not sure Sven did a bang up job of coaching, but what do I know, I supported a team that couldn't beat Ghana. Sheezh, I need an aspirin or 6.
